Data About Individuals

All data published through opendata.education has been obtained from freely and publicly available government sources released under the Open Government License (version 3). However, this data includes personal data in the form of individuals names, such as head teachers and governors, which is listed as an exemption in the OGL3. This raises privacy concerns about the current licensing of the data that we are discussing with appropriate parties, including the ODI and the original data provider (i.e. Edubase). This statement will be updated as the discussion evolves.

Edit: We have recieved the legal status of this data from the people at Edubase. We will be publishing a Privacy Impact Assessment in the near future to clarify under what grounds this information is published.
